September 6

Well today is the official LAST Friday before we start homeschooling for this year! Yesterday my eldest started her 2 homeschool classes at Homelink – a program that offers school like classes to homeschoolers. Last year she took algebra – this year she is taking photography and British Literature and History. I think this class is going to be a fantastic class for R and a great mental challenge. Not because she can’t do the work, but because it’s going to make her think! I think it will be perfect.

Today we may clean and re-organize the school shelf. And get our books organized and find all the pencils and pens etc… Yesterday while R was at her classes, J and I went to the library and checked out a pile of books for lessons – We are starting with learning about Earth and also the 13 colonies. R will be doing at home Geometry, spelling/phonics type review, creative writing and science with J. With other kids – personal finance and health, photography, British literature and history. She also wants to learn Russian so I’m on a quest to find a decent Russian program that won’t break the bank.

I think it’s going to be an exciting new year. Both girls are older they are willing, they both have their passions they are following. Fun times 🙂

Now that I have a computer! and I figured out how to transfer all the pictures from my camera(s) to said computer – here are some updates!

R’s new girl Pharma. Good match I think –

Crafternoon project – teen/tween day. Will post directions for crafternoon next week. Horseshoe decorating for frames or just to hang, and 18 inch doll food.

Medals from J’s last feis – third in her reel, single jig and slip jig, 2nd in hornpipe. She was ecstatic! First time ever participating in 4 dances and placing in 4 dances!

J getting her attitude in in the room before the feis.

Till next week! Bright Blessings!
